I had a crew over last night as my neighbor is a Broncos fan so it was hard to pay "normal" attention to the game and not be a terrible host. Just rewatched it. I use to do this pretty regularly because it's really good to take the emotion out of it.
Things that I noticed (not that anyone cares [&:])
That first fumble was a comedy of errors. #1 - why the hell are you calling a trick play, first series, on the road, that makes your new starter a glorified running back when your backup hasn't taken a snap in what, years? Just the dumbest play call KOC has called since he's been HC. Don't even consider where, on the field it was called. That's a different argument (and about as dumb but I digress). #2 - Yes. It was a blatant penalty that keeps the drive going and, unless we make another dumb TO, doesn't gift them 3 in a game we lost by 1.
We started to get rolling but as others have mentioned. As fun as Dobbs has been, he is not an accurate passer of the football. He just misses some absolute gimme's. His athletism is off the charts and he is a beast to bring down but if he could pinpoint the ball he'd be an elite QB.
In the 3rd quarter, as we were starting to take control before the AM fumble (I can't spell and Bill yells at me [&:]), there were 2 plays back-2-back that scream we still suck at communications. The rage was KC's couldn't get the play off in time. 2 plays in a row. #1 - Bradbury snaps the ball and Dobb fumbles it but recovers on first down. That was clearly on Bradbury. He snaps it as Dobbs is still scanning the field and nobody but GB moves. #2 - Next play. A really nice gain that is called back because Ingram is illegally down field. The weird thing about is that he didn't just drift down accidently. He fires off the line like it's a run play in his head. A clear miscommunication somewhere.
There was also a Metellus INT drop in the EZ that gifted them 3 and I don't even want to talk about the last drive. 1 minute, 3 TO's and just need a FG to win? To me, this was on play calling. We wasted the opportunity big time and it's on KOC, IMO.
in that situation, your first play should be positive yards and then hurry up. You can't let the ball hit the ground. Yeah, it stops the clock, but it also lets them sub. Spread them out and run a QB draw, or something. Then you can go no huddle and they can't sub. They are on their heals. Shit, it's Mile High. Get it to the 40 and you have a chance. That whole series was just a coaching disaster.
Just things like that and 3 TO's kill you.
Good stuff JJ.
A 2nd viewing is always illuminating.
In other news, Barr was like a ghost in terms of impact.
Same as it ever was.
I think he was #54.
